The vital energy and blood within Lu Que's body continued to vibrate. As his lungs opened up, the Spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth continued to enter his body from his nostrils. Accompanied by the power of the blood element, the impurities from his heart and lungs continued to flow out of his body. At this point, Lu Que felt his body become a lot lighter. The feeling of having just lost all his strength disappeared in a blink of an eye.
Lu Que didn't disperse the seal in his hand because when he had just broken through, he felt that he hadn't completely absorbed the spiritual energy that had been purified by the crucible. The spiritual energy that leaked out from his body had been absorbed by the White Wolf King and the wolf pack beside him. At this moment, the White Wolf King and its four Wolf King bodyguards were on the verge of breaking through.
The reason why he was able to break through again in such a short period of time was not just because of his perfect thirty-six grade Foundation Establishment talent, nor was it because of the Dao Seal that allowed him to gather spirit energy in the Unreturned Mountain. It was not even because of the < The True Sutra of the Nascent Birth > that Lu Que's experienced parents praised.
The most important reason was because this Spirit Controlling Cauldron could help Lu Que purify and store the spiritual energy of Heaven and Earth. This also allowed him to not have to worry about the lack of spiritual energy every time he broke through, because even if there wasn't enough spiritual energy, the Spirit Controlling Cauldron could still use Spiritual Beast Little White to channel the power of the Verdant Wood Essence in the Eternal Mountain to help him break through. Even if there was no contact with the spirit beast in this small world, the amount of spiritual energy stored within the crucible was enough for Lu Que to use for a very long time.
The 'True Sutra of the Yuan Embryo' was profound, but every time it broke through, the amount and purity of spiritual energy it required far exceeded that of any other cultivation technique. If it weren't for the help of the Spirit Resisting Cauldron, even if Lu Que's aptitude was heaven-defying, he wouldn't have been able to advance from the peak of the First Grade of the Blood Acupoint to the peak of the Third Grade.
There were a total of one hundred and eight internal organs, but a lot of martial arts experts knew about them. Even after reading a large number of books and adding on their own comprehension, they could still vaguely sense the hidden internal organs, but they didn't know how to use it to open these hidden internal organs.
Just like Lu Chun and Yu Chu Qing who didn't get the < < True Sutra of the Yuan > >, even though they were both learned people, and Yu Chu Qing practiced the < World Mantra of the Qian Yuan Royal Family >, they still didn't know how to open the unrecorded blood cavities.
However, the method that was used in the < The True Classic of Primordial Birds > was to use pure spirit energy as the water source, use the yin and yang in the internal organs as the channel, and use a natural method to clear the blood vessels in the body. This was the gentlest and most efficient method. Lu Que's own talent was already at the peak of the human race. With the help of the Spirit Controlling Cauldron, he naturally broke through much faster than everyone else, and it was much smoother as well.
This was also the reason why the White Wolf King felt this familiarity. It had relied on a single green leaf to enter the Xuan grade, and the spiritual energy purified by the Spirit Controlling Cauldron had also been infused with a sliver of the power of the Verdant Wood Sword. However, it did not snatch it away from Lu Que when he made his breakthrough, but only absorbed some of the Spiritual Qi that leaked out of his body. Even so, because the purity of the Spiritual Qi was too high, even if it did not absorb much, it still managed to consolidate the recently entered low-grade Profound Rank cultivation, and at the same time, was on the verge of breaking through.
It was not only the White Wolf King, but even the four Wolf King Guards had absorbed a bit of the green wood energy. The situation around him was naturally sensed by Lu Que. This was also the reason why he did not disperse the [Spirit Gathering Seal].
The White Wolf King and the wolves under its command had been of great help this time. With Lu Que's personality, he was naturally happy to see the White Wolf King and the wolf pack making a breakthrough through the spirit energy that they had gathered.
"Spirit Gathering." After consolidating his own cultivation, Lu Que linked his ten fingers together and hundreds of hand seals bloomed like flowers in the air. When the seals returned to the Spirit Convergence Seal, the originally dissipating Spiritual Energy Vortex condensed once again as a surge of green energy rushed down from the sky.
However, Lu Que had only absorbed a small portion of the spiritual Qi this time to comb through his body. The majority of the spiritual Qi was dispersed by Lu Que, forming a barrier that enveloped the entire pack of wolves around him. At this moment, even the lowest level Greywolf and the black wolf in the forest could feel that the air they were breathing had become somewhat different.
The White Wolf King gave a grateful glance and assumed the posture of the wolf king, Xiao Yue. The silky white fur on its body suddenly exploded, and with every breath it took, it had a strange rhythm.
"Is he trying to break through?" Because of his family's inherited cultivation technique, it was difficult for Zhixing to know that the lungs and heart had seven blood orifices. However, after Lu Que broke through to the seven orifices of the lung, the spiritual energy in the air did not dissipate.
However, he did not receive an answer to the difficult question of being intelligent. Even Zhuge Yan and Duanmu Ye, who were on good terms with Lu Que, had expressions of shock on their faces. The corners of Yun Xing Si, Su Duo, Meng Cang, and Li Zhong's lips were twitching, and their eyes were filled with shock.
In the past, it wasn't as if there hadn't been anyone who had broken through two stages at once, but that was just too rare. Those who had continuously broken through were all able to break through at such a speed because they had consumed pills refined from heaven and earth treasures. But even so, it would have to go back to the time of the Great Xuan Empire.
After Da Gan was established, the female Emperor Yu Wenshu, who was known as the strongest human expert in the past thousand years, once set up a rule in the Nine University Palace. After Da Gan was established, the female Emperor Yu Wang Shu, who was known as the strongest human in the past thousand years, once set up a rule in the Nine University Palace.
This was because people discovered that even the pills refined from heaven-step earthly treasures contained pill toxins. Those that used the power of the pill to break through to their current cultivation had all fallen within the tribulation of the Dao heart. Over time, using medicinal pellets to break through became something unattainable in the eyes of others. It was even synonymous with mediocrity. At this point, only those who had nearly reached their lifespan would use pills to break through their current realm and extend their lifespan.
Everyone knew about Lu Que's aptitude. With his grade 36 aptitude, there was no need to use pills to break through. Moreover, they had all been staring at Lu Que as he made his breakthrough. They did not see Lu Que consume any pills. At this moment, they really couldn't understand why the spiritual energy whirlpool hadn't dispersed. That was because even Emperor Taizu didn't have a record of breaking through two realms at once.
"Hey, what is this kid trying to do?" Not only did the people on the cliff not understand what was going on, but even the three people watching from afar, Yun Shu, the two guards, and the three strange beasts, did not understand what was going on.
However, when they saw the spiritual energy being absorbed by the White Wolf King and the wolf pack after passing through Lu Que's body, the doubt in their hearts was immediately dispelled.
"I never thought that there would be such a person among humans." At this moment, even the fierce and aggressive Kuang was looking at the situation in the valley with a complicated look in his eyes. As the founder of the beast tide and the guardian beast of this small world, it had witnessed the fierce battle between the wolves and the herd of beasts in the valley.
It could understand that the humans and the wolves were fighting against the beast tide together. After all, the wolves had saved them, so it was only natural for them to repay the kindness with their own eyes. However, after Lu Que had made his breakthrough and gathered the Spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth once again, he had helped the Wolf King and the wolf pack to make a breakthrough.
Due to their different races and the fact that they had been locked up in this small world for more than two hundred years, the Human Emperor did not have a good impression of humans. But now that he saw Lu Que's actions, he could not help but feel a sense of warmth in his heart.
"This child is pure and kind. His intelligence is clear, and he is only fifteen years old. Humans truly do have many outstanding people like the stars in the sky. It seems that another human expert is about to rise up." He could feel that Lu Que did not hold back anything in his intentions to help the White Wolf King.
"What pure spiritual energy. If only I could let him stay in my Aquatic Manor." On the other hand, the picture of the pepper was more interested in the purified spiritual energy. His favorite thing was to stay home and take care of the Aquatic Manor. If only the Aquatic Manor had such pure spiritual energy.
"Every single human expert who has risen to power has to go through countless battles. If I could go out now and stay by its side, that would be a good thing. What a pity." At this moment, there was no longer any trace of killing intent in his eyes. Instead, he looked at the lower level White Wolf King with envy.
"We can't leave for the time being, but that little guy is indeed lucky." Ever since the teenager called Lu Que entered this small world, he had been playing the flute in the clouds and eavesdropping on his every time. Although the teenager's understanding of music was much worse than the woman's understanding of music, for some reason, he liked Lu Que's flute music more.
Furthermore, as the guardians of the strange beasts, they all knew that in this small world within the painting, because of the incomplete laws of heaven and earth, it was impossible for any mystical beasts to be born. However, since the White Wolf King had levelled up here, they knew that as the White Wolf King continued to absorb spiritual energy and its aura continued to increase, it was time for the White Wolf King to break through.
The three beasts actually wanted to know the reason behind the current situation, but the aura of that beast prevented them from approaching it. Based on its legendary nature, if they hurt the person it was protecting, death would be the greatest grace. They knew that the Qiong Qi beast of the ancient times was thrown into the cauldron and refined to death after provoking the beast, and that the beast had truly died in body and spirit.
"His heart is sincere and his nature is pure. Rumors are indeed not empty." When he was playing the 'Phoenix's Song' and that song that should have been composed by him, he was very interested in Lu Que. Now that he had seen Lu Que's actions, his impression of this young man whose name could shake the entire capital was greatly increased.
With their cultivations, they naturally heard the words of the crowd on the cliff just now. They knew that no one was fighting with Lu Que for the top seat and had already taken the top seat in their first year in the academy. This was the first time this had ever happened in the history of the Nine University Palace.
"Aowu ~"
"Aowu ~"
After the time it took for an incense stick to burn, just when the spiritual energy had exceeded the limits of Lu Que's control, a few happy howls of wolves came from beside him. Sensing that the White Wolf King had made a breakthrough, Lu Que hurriedly put away his hand seals and dispersed the spiritual energy whirlpool. Only then did he let out a long sigh of relief. Without Little White's help, manipulating the crucible for such a long time with Little White's current cultivation would have consumed a great deal of his mind.
Lu Que took a closer look and noticed that the White Wolf King that had entered the middle Xuan level was slightly smaller than before. However, its eyes shone brightly and it looked much more intelligent than before. The four Wolf King Guards had also become Yellow Rank beasts. They were a full circle larger than before and even had a trace of the power of a Wolf King.
Due to the spiritual energy enveloping the entire pack of wolves under Lu Que's control, the eyes of the wolves became much brighter. Those who were injured in the battle against the herd had their wounds scabbed. They would recover soon.
"What is this smell?" When the spirit energy in the sky dissipated, a stench of blood mixed with a foul entered Lu Que's nose. That strong smell almost made him faint. It turned out that when Lu Que broke through his seven orifices, his sense of smell had become many times stronger than before. Just a moment ago, he couldn't feel anything due to the isolation of the Spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth, but now, he could clearly smell the smell in the valley.
Lu Que sniffed and realized that other than the stench of blood, the stench was coming from him. He lifted his arm and sniffed under his armpits. The stench of the impurities in his body was so pungent that he could not breathe out. He quickly ran to the pool under the waterfall and took off his clothes. He did not care if the people on the cliff could see him or not, he just started to wash himself.
"This stinking brat." Ye Yin, who was interested in Lu Que, curiously watched Lu Que's actions. However, she saw that Lu Que actually took off all his clothes and jumped into the water. With her supreme expert's eyesight, she naturally saw all the details. Although she knew why, she still lightly spat with a little heat on her face.
"Haha, truly, you're extremely emotional. You've got quite the bit of capital, haha." Seeing this scene, Mei Zhang Zu burst out laughing.
"Since the students are already safe, let's go look for the Illusory Heart Array. I wonder just where this array has hidden itself." Yun Shu also shook her head with a wry smile. She was on good terms with Ye Ci. Seeing the awkward expression on her good sister's face, she quickly changed the topic.
When Lu Que was about to wash up, the White Wolf King and the four Wolf King bodyguards also jumped into the pond. The wolf's sense of smell was much sharper than a human's, so it didn't feel anything when it was immersed in the joy of breaking through.
"Haha." Looking at the five huge wolves, Lu Que could not help but laugh out loud. Amidst the rumbling sound of water, he started to play with them.
After Lu Que had cleaned up the filth on his body and the clothes covered in the blood of the ferocious beasts, he helped the White Wolf King and the four Wolf King guards clean up. He looked at the corpses on the ground and frowned.
Awoo." "The White Wolf King shook off the water on its body and looked at Lu Que as if it knew what was going on in its heart. It raised its head and let out a long howl.
As soon as the Wolf King's voice faded, the wolves began to move. Soon after, a huge round hole about three Zhang long and ten meters wide was dug out. When the last huge snow mountain wolf jumped out of the hole, the Forest Black Wolf and the Grassland Gray Wolf, who were already waiting to the side, dragged their dead comrades' corpses over and threw them into the huge hole.
After the corpses of the dead wolves were thrown into the giant pit, all the wolves raised their heads and let out sorrowful howls, as if they were sending off their companions. The wolves howled for a while, then kicked their hind legs into the ground and began to fill up the hole again.
Awoo." At this moment, the White Wolf King had reached a huge boulder. It circled around it, and with every step it took, it raised its right claw and waved it a few times.
"This is the Supreme Force?" Lu Que could clearly see that each time the Wolf King struck, there was a silver qi that was like a sharp blade, cutting the boulder into a square, as if it was made out of tofu. When Lu Que was young, he had seen it in the hands of several of his uncles. This was what a human being could only achieve at least the Seventh Grade of Qi Manipulation. However, from the White Wolf King's effortless appearance, it was obvious that its cultivation had already surpassed the Seventh Grade of Qi Manipulation.
After the White Wolf King finished cutting the boulder, the four Wolf King Guards pushed the square boulder towards the pit that had just been filled up. The wolves then took the rocks from the river and placed them around the boulder, pressing them down with their claws. Clearly, the wolf pack didn't want other beasts to disturb their slumber.
The wolves were silent around the grave for a while, and then there was another long, even howl, as if to see off a comrade. After doing all this, the wolves began to clean up the battlefield. After a fierce battle, the wolves were already hungry. The corpses of the beasts had all become the wolves' lunch.
The people on the cliff, whose wounds had been bandaged, also once again walked to the platform in front of the cave. Seeing this gathering of over a thousand wolves, all of their expressions changed.
Lu Que was sitting on a rock by the river, playing with his bamboo flute as he glanced at the White Wolf King beside him. Although he was gentle, he knew that the strong preyed on the weak.
"Wuwuwu ~" Lu Que put the flute to his lips and began playing the Requiem. Following the flute's sound, the wolves stopped eating and looked in Lu Que's direction. As the flute's sound became louder and louder, a breeze blew and the bloody and somber atmosphere in the valley seemed to have dissipated quite a bit.
